Johnny Cash : the one on the right was the one on the left

[usernameofagod]

[SuperPoweredKing]

Ah, the guy in the rear.

[jazzaste123]

Thanks so much for this jr is my hero my inspiration thanks man

[MrJamesPianoman]

Wow. Skin and bones. Tough life.

[MikeBlitzMag]

Pure genius! For my money, this track ranks among his five best overall. Given the astounding catalog he amassed over a half century, that's saying a lot.

[jazzaste123]

Yup his addiction was showing at this time in a big way I'm so glad he found a way of over coming it the speed come down is he'll and the shit he took was phara grade a shit o must of been been harder love jr so much his ,usic and persona inspires me always has in all ways

[badboy4948]

mr cash back in the day

[alexey1983rus]

Да и вобще мне не нравится качество его работы-его выступлений с1963 года.Непонятно только почему?Был бы я на тот момент директором Колумбии я бы давно выгнал его,может быть задумался бы?

[alexey1983rus]

Просто "красавец",нет слов.Выглядит довольно смешно.

[Ridger1978]

I think Johnny Cash was a truly great MAN... But take note everyone... This was ROCK BOTTOM... 1967

[alexey1983rus]

Исполнение так-себе

[Quintus707]

how old was he here like 35?

[thedroogfulable]

oh yeah no shoes...crazy genius bastard

[smackythefrog23]

Johnny Cash: The TRUE King of Rock and Roll.

[IbnNero]

[garrison282]

[JMConstWI]

Bonkerzchloe22 Johnny Cash didn't write cocaine blues it was a remake originally done by T.J. "Red" Arnall in 1947 Johnny Cash took so many songs that were done by other artist and made them his own.

[babybookworm003]

@JMConstWI johnny cash had a talent for making some of the covers he did sound better then the original

[NYBerlinLondonParis]

[cashfan123]

AMAZING

[DRGAS3339]

good stuff i love it

[celephais72]

I agree with Clickityclak - Johnny looks very unhealthy - this is probably during the worst of his amphetamine addiction.

[amintouka]

greaaaaaaaaaaat! <3 johnny casg

[clikityclak]

He looks very unhealthy in this

[Photoguy7482]

LOL he looks high, but still sang it f*cking great!

[Dievosuniukas]

AFI's dudes should listen to this ol' pal.

[CommanderCody08]

what is year was that recorded?

[MusicDude86]

probably 1964 or '65.

[00JTM]

Great song!!

[SecretTrollAccount1]

J. nailed it

Good folk lesson.

[esorciccio78]

so thin because of drugs but SO AWESOME !!

one of the greatest of all time

[skobridge]

You should have lyrics in more info! /sob

[custer1968]

I have a sneaking suspision that John Cash may be Morrisseys dad...haha...great song!

[arnoldinhio]

Hahaha !

[JoopRXXX]

This song responds to the crazy polarization that was gthe result of the '60's.

[aduziproductions]

Who's left?  Their's or our's?

[SheepdogsAttack99]

Johnny cash's drug years when he was hooked on speed, cocaine, and pills.

[BoNkErZchloe22]

@SheepdogsAttack99 HE NEVER TOOK SPEED OR COCAINE he only had took amphetamine addiction.

[nowweareone]

@BoNkErZchloe22 yeah, he never had took speed, he only had took amphetamine addiction...

do as the speed-addled man with the guitar says and work on your diction.

[BoNkErZchloe22]

@nowweareone i already know lol

[lovdanig]

@BoNkErZchloe22 Other than what you have read HOW do you know that JC didn't take Cocaine or speed?. He sang a song about cocaine about then and as far as that goes not a hell of a lot of difference between the 3 of them anyway. Idiots that write things they don't know about make me see redddddd. I heard JC in an interview once that said he tried anything that would make him stay awake Bennies,coke or speed.....

[BoNkErZchloe22]

@lovdanig I Know for a fact he didn't because he said so himself.  And He might have once or twice but he never stuck with it. only uppers and downers. And his kids said so as well. thank you very much. And every thing you said I already know.

[smackythefrog23]

@BoNkErZchloe22 amphetamines ARE speed. he was taking methedrine which was pretty much the same as todays meth, or tweek. Except it was pharma grade and 100% pure back then.

[JamesConnollyICA]

what time was this writen

[Dodo251]

This is a great song. Kind of funny.

[Lurchisuck]

he was very skinny this time ...

[thinlizzynut]

jack clement wrote it but cash ownes it!! thanks for the upload!!!!!!

[amazingstarman]

he must be on drugs hard on this video

[X0oMALKAVo0X]

Along with 'a boy named Sue' one of the funniest Cash tracks ever.. ( he didn't make much funnies )

tnx for uploading.. :D

[SlurkSlisker]

Unfortunately, he didn't write it. But I agree.

The man who couldn't cry is kinda fun though :D

[Dodo251]

What about 'One Piece at a Time'? I think it's quite funny.

[X0oMALKAVo0X]

Oh yeah,.. forgot about that one.. Genius!

"The transmission was a '53

And the motor turned out to be a '73

And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone."

heheh..

[Hanniste]

Yeah. They are all great songs. If you want his most humorous stuff you should check out the album "Everybody Loves A Nut".

Maybe he didn't write a lot of the songs, but he performed them the best.

[TheDesertsItalian]

@Dodo251 About that time my wife came out and I could see she had her doubts, but she opened the door n' said "honey, take me fer a spien"

[hellotherechap]

this looks like late 60 early 70 think..maby around the time he came off the drugs ...it looks like the drugs had taken a toll on him but still great musi cnone the less RIP

[JoeCamelCigg]

This was filmed in the Mid 1960's.

[RonoShowMusic]

Am I the only one who thinks this song is about Peter, Paul & Mary?

[Tainuy]

He has definately taken some sort of drugs ,

Thought it doesnt matter becaus ehe is the real king , may you rest in peace!

[timewasterdm]

LOL, Oh man,,, I'm 6 or 7 years old again, listening to my dad play this. Thanks for puting this out here.

[RDarth]

Johnny was not looking too good here. Glad he got off those damn pills.

[11bcarr]

Im sure he doesnt look good now..you know...his body decaying and such

[RDarth]

Dude you have problems. Get some help.

[11bcarr]

Am I lying?

[RDarth]

No, you're right but only fuckers sick in the head would say something like that. Like I said, get some help my friend.

[11bcarr]

only someone sick in the head would make fun of someone with tourettes you dumb fucker!

[RDarth]

Tourettes Guy isn't real.

[11bcarr]

its still making fun of people with the syndrome, you dicksmack

[ruthlesace]

go to hell you sick piece of shit

[11bcarr]

I will if you can prove that hell is real.

[ruthlesace]

if you cannot disprove a theory than it is proven.

[qwer4o]

Haha, moron :)

[LazyBastard69]

Yeah it's fake and not funny at all. Would be a lot funnier if there was a real tourette's guy

[awsomeshot]

I am not sure if this is the period he was on drugs. he was skinny at the beginning of his career he didnt gain weight until early 80's really.

[wmbrown6]

@awsomeshot - From what I can tell, Cash sure was strung out during this period. At his utter personal nadir in 1967, he bottomed out at 140 lbs., then went up to 200 lbs. after quitting drugs cold turkey in late '67. By the time "The Johnny Cash Show" debuted on ABC in 1969 he went up to 250 lbs.

[wahnano]

Monsieur Johnny Ca$h

[hbsvt]

This was actually written by Jack Clement who wrote many songs for Cash and the other greats of the day.

I have to say though looking at the video my first reaction seeing how burned out he was on the drugs was Damn, Johnny looks like he is Iggy Pops dad!

[teeger66]

Did he write this, or no? He does a great job of performing it tho. He got better lookin' as the years went by!

[ruthlesace]

he wrote it

[cashfan123]

john r cash u are a fukin super super star ur music will live on forever on earth and in heaven peace brother i miss u john

[cashfan85]

lol at 1:57 leg over the mike....

Whats the deal with the guitar? it`s small!?

[RaptureDeclined]

Johnny was in those times on amphetamines.

[cashfan123]

haha darrr

[hallelujahlogic]

i feel weird for saying this but...johnny cash looks kinda...hot..in this.

[R0SECR0IX]

the guy in the rear got drafted...this is brilliant, Cash was the king of men. His gift for narrative was unparallelled...

[ginmillsinger]

Very cool! :c) 5+Star's!

Great share, Johi! Thanks!

Very best wishes for health and happiness!

GinMillBill

[nllleonard]

[blueleaftuber]

[PPPaRaDoXiCaL]

[SedanChair]

[myrray786]

A wee bit of a hidden message. When his 2 legs and the one in the middle keep changing positions.

[lkjm2000]

I love this song. I heard it when I was young...thanks for posting it!

[greylag123]

I heard this song when I was 20 years old ...

[4hawkrod]

[packingten]

I Love Johnny period He will ALWAYS be my HERO. I'm so glad he got off of drugs, Thank goodness, You can tell John had a bad night before this He looked loaded and tired, Still My hero ALWAYS will be

[djl5555]

Great song. I remember hearing it when I was about 10 and thinking how stupid it was becuase I didn't understand what it was about then.

[ConnorP95]

Johnny Cash has peroids of different faces, he looks quite strange here!

[cashfan85]

Yes he was doing a lot of drugs at this point in his life....he`s pretty thin here. Looks bad.

[VA24541]

This song was written by Cowboy Jack Clement, and was released in 1965.

[mrteenswe]

this gives me goosebumps, thoughtful lyrics ;)

[benrique12]

4 WORDS: WOT AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!

[MoparManiac22739]

Yeah, he looks skinnier. Still, his voice and songwriting is still in its prime here.

-Casey Cannon

[nisusCGA]

[jamescaptainfarrell]

FITE-EVIL

[Truth666]

Right and Left are illuminati creations

Google

MattMarriott who are the illuminati

[carolyn1e1s]

Not one of the best remembered of J.C. tunes, but how profoundly contemporary after years of obscurity, thanks for putting it on YouTube!

[sev48202]

lol, this is so funny

[jimmywcline]

love this song, the democratics suck as they do now. hillary the bitch. bama the black bastard. and edwards the white scum. great video. johnny cash i love you.

[rob2nyc]

Johnny Cash would be labeled a liberal in today's climate.

[Ypr105mi]

We'll never have the likes of JR or Waylon again, will we?!! Perhaps you could read the biographies and autobiographies of these two irreplaceable AMERICAN icons. Nah, that would take away your TV time.

[cashfan85]

There is one man today that reminds me of Cash. He`s not well know because he has trouble getting air play. His name is Chris Knight. Check out my channel, watch Enough Rope or Down The River. or anything thats got Chris Knight on it. Everything he does is awesome.....

[Dogge69]

He was not doped he was not old. He was good!

[Dogge69]

u all can stfu he is a legend and he is the best of all.

[lilmaz26]

He sure looks old in that video but I guess that what drugs does to you when in that era!

[tibbytabby75]

Hm... why did he take off his shoes? He was in a show, wasn't he? lol

[punkprincess7]

because he's Johnny Cash he can do whatever he wants lol

[Mistoff]

Lol, how doped up he was there.

[blastingcaps]

its already punk!!!

[johnnydurst666]

he didnt wear shoes...where could that have been since he took his shoes off

[Kahran042]

Me too.

[bsondahl]

That's the dinkiest Martin I've seen that wasn't a ukelele...
